Sheresevski, born in Russia in 1886, grew up in a small group of Russian Jews and later became a journalist, during which time he was found to have an amazing memory. On one occasion, the editors of the newspapers met to assign tasks to the reporters. Sheresevski, who was standing behind, was standing in the first row this time. Other reporters were holding notebooks and remembering the tasks assigned to them. Only Sheresevsky sat alone, empty hands. The editor saw it very angry. He thought that Sheresevsky was too lazy. Sheresevsky felt that he was very embarrassed. He could remember all of them. Why should he use paper again? The editor did not believe because he There were a lot of tasks to deploy, and I couldn’t remember myself. Sheresevsky began to repeat the words that had just been edited. The editors compared their own small books and found that one word was not bad, even the position he had just read wrong. Sheresevsky remembers that everyone thinks he is a genius.
Later, Sheresevsky was sent to the Institute of Psychologists, the most famous psychologist in Russia at the time. Alexander Rulia’s research institute, Alexander Rulia, is one of the 100 psychologists who influenced the world. He is a researcher at the advanced level. The master of psychological activities, Luria spent more than 30 years on Sheresevsky, and achieved great results, such as several of the tests, showing the amazing memory of Sheresevski Level
Someone was reading aloud to the passage in Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian, and he didn't understand Italian at all. After 15 years, he was able to accurately repeat these verses, even the accent and pronunciation were exactly the same as he had heard.
It is confirmed that he can remember complex mathematical formulas, large digital matrices, and even foreign language poems in a matter of minutes.
The researchers showed Schreishevsky a piece of paper with a complex formula of thirty letters and numbers. Then they put the paper in the box and sealed it for fifteen years. When they were taken out, Sheresevsky was able to recall it accurately.
The amazing memory of Sheresevsky, even today, is still amazing, he can remember what he saw, what he heard, what the nose smelled, and everything he touched, he realized After he was different from ordinary people, he began to perform everywhere. After several decades, he was able to clearly remember his first few performances, and what the audience used at the time.

Why does Chereshevsky have an amazing memory? Luria’s conclusion is Sheresevski
Has a very strong synaesthetic trait, known as "five types of overlapping synaesthesia." Each of the five sensory signals, such as color, touch, and taste, can trigger other sensations. For example, when he hears a tone, he will perceive a certain color at the same time, and touching something will trigger a taste sensation. Using his sensation of synaesthesia, he spontaneously uses well-known memory techniques.
In other words, his feelings are universal. When he sees a thing, the brain unconsciously calls up the five sensory systems. What does it sound like, what it smells like, feels like it. What it looks like, what is the taste in your mouth. Therefore, when he saw this thing, he actually heard it, smelled it, touched it, and tasted it. The brain is infinitely divergent, and finally remembered, completely transforming something that you are not familiar with is just like being related to yourself, and then remembering. This is exactly what we are paying attention to. If we want to remember something, if we want to remember it, the best way is to embed it in our own knowledge system. The deeper the embedded, the better the probability of remembering. The bigger the feeling, the more you use it, the more likely you are to remember. If you are interested, you can try it.

Is Shereshevsky's memory so powerful, is it only good, no harm? Not always, the downside is also obvious.
Sheresevsky did an intelligence test and found that his IQ was not too high, as he was struggling with the connection between finding things. It is easy to make mistakes of "seeing trees, not seeing the woods". He can clearly remember a series of numbers, such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on, but he rarely notices that this is an arithmetic progression. In other words, he remembered, but did not notice the connection between the various numbers. The rest of us like to find the connection between the transactions. It is very likely that because our memory is not strong, we like to find rules, such as we see Such a sequence
45、57、69、74、81、99、108、239、247、336、456、567、678、789、890
I believe that when most people see the fourth and fifth, they will automatically find the law between each number in their minds. It is very likely that the law will find that the brain is too long to remember, since it is remembered. Can't live, but the brain wants to remember, so I began to look for the rules, so that according to the previous guess, this will save a lot of effort. Since Shereshevski remembers to live, she rarely finds its rules. Of course, he can't, but he doesn't have this habit. (In fact, it is not appropriate to use habits, because most people are automatically looking for the law. Driving, that is, subconsciously seeing a lot of numbers, objects, and people coming together, they began to look for the rules, summarizing the collective characteristics of these things, and Sheresevsky must open the manual mode, that is, outside. At the prompt, I realize that these things are regular)
In addition, Sheresevsky remembers things by means of five types of feelings, so his imagination is too developed, and it is often unclear whether a thing is imagined by himself or is it happening. Although he has a very good memory, he rarely reads a novel with his patience.
Every word in the novel arouses his imagination, forming a lot of pictures, distracting him. For the same reason, Sheresevsky struggled to overcome the pressures of past experiences, and he even remembered everything before the age of one. He tried to erase the heavy memories of the past, because those memories contained some of the early nervous emotions, such as fear and crying in the baby.
In the later years of Sheresevsky, it was very painful to be tortured by unforgettable memories. He could not forget every suffering he had experienced, every feeling of injury, every sad scene, he had tried to forget. Something was written on a piece of paper, and then the piece of paper was burned, but this psychological comfort did not play any role at all, and it was considered a poor person.
